Valerie, your artwork is so wonderful and the thoughts for young and old...perfect!!!Love the photos! What a fabulous zoo that is! The animals look healthy and well cared for!Love that tree or whatever it is! It reminds me of a tortoise :}The flowers are gorgeous! Almost forgot...that one goat looks like a kid will be born any day!!!

I had to smile as I pictured you using the toothbrush and sieve for you paint effects. I wish I hadn't thrown my old one out a few months ago after reading your post.Its a fabulous page and how true those words you added.Wonderful photos, the animals look so health and happy.Yvonne xx

Hello Valerie, I thought your artwork really hits the spot with its quote... beautiful colours and design as well.A huge selection of animals here, you certainly had fun at the zoo - I tried to comment on your previous post but some glitches our end, will try again.Happy PPF and thanks for sharing all the interesting and fun things you see and do :D)xx

Like Yvonne, your techniques had me smiling, I like the idea of you splashing on the colour using a brush as well as scrubbing through a sieve using an old toothbrush - that sounds like so such fun! Happy Friday and wishing you a lovely weekend! J :-)

Your journal pages are wonderful and I love that there are birds on your page and on your blog page. Very nice! And thanks for the trip to the zoo. I am a great zoo lover but haven't been recently so these photos were most appreciated. Happy PPF

What a wonderful zoo - you name it and they have it! Those first monkey/ape animals look like grouch old men!You artwork is so creative - love the colors on the heads. When I first saw this I started singing "Fly me to the moon!"Sandy xx

Wow! That zoo must be huge to house such a varied assortment of animal! I do love that the sand and water areas look so natural.You really did get some beautiful up close pics of those baboons(?)Their fur looks so silky!Great journal spread my dear, and great words as well- too true!hugs,Jackie

About Me

I want to write a blog about the *normal* happenings of everyday life that weave the fabric of Life's Big Scrapbook. I don't like copying other people's styles, I want to do my own thing. I will do a thing as long as I like it, or it does me good, and then leave it when I realise that it's time to move on. Don't want to follow other people's rules, which doesn't mean that I don't like or admire the work of others. But I want to be the first ME and not the second anybody else.
